Hi,
This is my first kaffe email (& I'm a kaffe newbie), so please bear with
me...
I have been trying to install and run 1.1.7 on gentoo for Alpha without
success. After lots of fruitless searching lists for help on classpath
and java/lang/StackOverflowError messages, I decide to bite the bullet
myself and I rebuilt kaffe static , gcc 4.1.1, with debug on, and started
it up in gdb (verbose debug dump below), and I believe that I have found
the initial cause of the segfaults.
% KAFFE_DEBUG=gdb /usr/local/kaffe/bin/java /tmp/hello.java
(gdb) run
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
detectStackBoundaries (jtid=0x1202a0030, mainThreadStackSize=1048576) at
signal.c:470
470 kaffeNoopFunc(*guessPointer);
(gdb) print handler_segv
$1 = (void *) 0x0
(gdb) print guessPointer
$2 = 0x11fb20000 "cal/kaffe/jre/bin/kaffe-bin"
(gdb) print handler_bus
$3 = (void *) 0x0
Neither handler_segv nor handler_bus is being set. Looking at the
/kaffevm/systems/unix-pthreads/signal.c:
"
#if defined(SIGSEGV)
handler_segv = registerSyncSignalHandler(SIGSEGV, stackOverflowDetector);
#endif
#if defined(SIGBUS)
handler_bus = registerSyncSignalHandler(SIGBUS, stackOverflowDetector);
#endif
"
After some brief checks, it seems that SIGSEGV and SIGBUS definitions are
definitely not being set.
At this point I am at a loss to proceed, because I do not know where it
should be set, or if it is the result of a failed configure option, which
is supposed to look up these headers. I am no guru, but if someone
could point me to where this is supposed to be set, I would really
appreciate fixing it for the Alpha (and probably for mips & others from
what I've read) platform.
Thanks,
Beracah

This error may occur because the stack size is not sufficient.
Try to increase the stack size using 'ulimit -s' or with the '-ss'
option on kaffe.
